âWhat exactly are you doing here?â I inquired, my expression serious as I stared at Salina's broad smile.âStop with the death glares,â she said, tucking her hair behind her ears and striding into my study, her heels clicking against the floor.âWho told you I was here?â I asked, closing the file I had been reading.âI didn't come here to see you,â Salina replied, taking a seat and placing her handbag on the table.âThen who?â I probed, fixing my gaze on her. During her time in Russia, she often spent time with us, occasionally meeting with David and me. She was the only person in the world who knew about our existence.âAmberâŚâ she smirked. âMy sister-in-law.ââDon't get involved,â I cautioned. It wasn't that she posed a threat, but Salina's bubbly personality could be overwhelming.âDon't be possessive,â Salina shot back, her tone sharp. âI was the one who donated plasma when she was pregnant with your child and lying in the hospital bed.ââSorry,â I murmured softly. I knew I could
Past..âAmberâŚâ Liam gasped, catching her collapsing body in his arms. His fingers brushed against something wet on her backâblood.âShitâŚâ he cursed, rolling them both toward the wall. The gunshot echoed in his mind. Someone had fired at them, and Amber was hit.âAhhhâŚâ Amber's cry pierced through the chaos, her agony raw and unfiltered.âDon't close your eyes,â Liam urged, his voice trembling with desperation. He helped her to sit on the floor, his eyes darting to the open window, knowing another shot could come at any moment. He needed his phone and laptop to call Nick, to get them to the hospital.âJust stay here,â he whispered, his heart pounding as he began to crawl toward the table. As he reached for his phone, another gunshot rang out, forcing him to dodge. The bullet whizzed past, embedding itself in the wall.âFucker, how did anyone find our location?â he spat, fear and anger coursing through him.âLiamâŚâ Amber's breathing was rapid and shallow. Blood continued to pour from
Present âBaby, why are there so many marks?â He questioned me while tracing my arms that was covered with red marks. I took a deep breath before closing my eyes. I could feel his gaze fixed on me. I did not want to meet his inquisitive gaze. What would I tell him, About the betrayal I had committed in the past, which I had completely forgotten? âBabyâŚ" His voice was gentle as a feather, and he cupped my face, but I lacked the courage to look into his eyes. My eyes were closed, and tears flowed. I felt him kiss my tears before pressing his lips against mine. I allowed him to do whatever he wanted. He was savoring the moment and taking his time kissing me; we both needed one another. I could not stop myself from kissing him back and stroking his silk hair. He picked me up, and I wrapped my leg around his torso as we sucked on each other's mouths. I could feel him adjusting me to the cabinet as his hand began massaging my boobs. I inhaled deeply as I moaned into his mouth, his index f
Past....Liam sat outside the ICU in the dead of night, his eyes tightly shut. Ten agonizing hours had passed since the doctors disappeared behind those doors, and the constant hustle of nurses carrying blood bags and medical gear only heightened his sense of helplessness. Normally unfazed by blood, Liam's demeanor tonight betrayed a deep-seated fearâthe prospect of losing his only family, Amber and their unborn child.Nick, observing his idol, sensed the impending storm beneath Liam's usually calm exterior. He had already deduced who was responsible for the attack.Liam's eyes snapped open as the ICU door creaked open, and Dr. Williston emerged, his sigh of relief audible as he removed his cap. âDavid, she's stable,â the doctor announced, trying to reassure Liam.âWhat about the baby?â Liam's voice trembled with anxiety, his heart pounding at the thought of losing another loved one.âThe baby is fine,â Dr. Williston confirmed, though the worry etched on his face betrayed the severity
âLet's meet her,â Ivan said, taking my hand in his warm grasp and giving it a gentle squeeze. I smiled, though I was nervous about meeting someone from his family for the first time since regaining my consciousness. I wasnât sure if weâd met before when I had my memory.A girl with dirty blond hair was eating a forkful of pasta, her eyes closing in satisfaction. A helper stood behind her, and the table was filled with food. Sensing our presence, she opened her eyes, her cheeks flushing red. âSorry, I started before you both joined, but I was starving,â she said, sounding like a child.Ivan chuckled and added, âIâm happy youâre enjoying the food. Thatâs a rare side of you.ââIâm not that choosy,â she pouted, her eyes meeting mine.âAmber,â she said with a smile, revealing a small dimple on her right cheek, a small button nose, and glowing fair skin. Her eyes were brown, unlike the blue eyes often seen in Russians. I felt someone nudge my elbow and looked up to see Ivanâs concerned eyes
âWe wonât let anything happen to our baby sister,â Liam said firmly. His calm voice was filled with urgency, leaving Salina and David stunned and speechless.âLiamâŚâ David started, his voice shaky with uncertainty. The air was thick with unasked questions and concern.âBaby sister?â Salina asked, looking between David and Liam, confused. Liam took off his mask and said, âWeâre twins, Salina.ââTwins?â Salinaâs eyes widened in shock as she stared at Liam, trying to process the revelation. She touched Liamâs hair gently, as if trying to confirm he was real.âYouâŚâ she whispered, staring at him in disbelief. Liam chuckled softly, noticing how much Salina looked like his biological mother. It suddenly made sense why she seemed so familiar.âWe are twins, Salina,â Liam repeated, guiding her to a chair and ruffling her hair with a mix of joy and disbelief at finding his sister.âHow⌠How did you know? Whatâs going on, David?â Salina asked, her hands nervously smoothing her hair as she looke
âPlease Liam. Don'tâ I trailed off looking at his burning eyes.âYou think you can run offâ He yelled. His hand curing around the stick. My heart was thumping against my chest, fear was crawling into my heart.âI am sorry, Liam, Please don't,â I begged joining my hand. Pleading to him with my fear full eyes to not beat me.âNow scaredâ He laughed.âI won't be everâŚâ I cut off and a scream echoed in an abandoned place. The burning skin on my shoulder told me it was my scream.âSorry, Sorry, sorry Liamâ I cried trying to dodge his sticks.âYou fucking bitch, I told you to stay here, and I will think about what I can do for you to not assassinate you, but you're just being a bitchâ He yelled and turn my back like always I did in my childhood whenever I was punished by a stick."Bitchâ He yelled throwing stick after stick, I felt my body turn numb getting to continue beating.âThis time I won't let it go easilyâ He yelled, tearing my cloth. My body jerked back, and his cold hand roamed my
I was feeling like I am stuck under the cave. Everything was dark, My breathing running fast like I was running from someone and got stuck in a cage. I wanted to see a little light, A light of hope, A light to snatch this darkness away from me. My leg slipped, and I found myself underwater, trying to breathe but drowning miserably, unable to get little oxygen to breathe âHelp!!!! â I yelled and opened my eyes. The sudden light was itching in my eyes. I rubbed my eyes and again opened them and found myself in bed. Everything was white, White bed, white curtain, and smell of antiseptic. The wire connects to my hand and tells me I am in the hospital. I touched my face and body there was no injury, then why am I here?âWhat am I doing here?â I asked myself. I was busy finding a way to ask someone and remove this injection from my hand, but the door opened a little. A girl in a pink uniform came inside, but she was startled looking at me and after some time she gave me a big smile like sh

PastâŚâHave you seen my book?â Amber inquired of Liam while searching for her novel in bed.âNightstand, right side drawer,â Liam responded, working on his laptop.âWhen did I keep here?â she muttered as she opened the drawer that held her book and chocolates.âOh, god, half of the book is yet to be read,â she said, sitting on the bed and biting into her chocolate.Liam cast a questioning look at her, and she noticed his gaze. Amber inquired, âWhat?â Amber inquired, prompting Liam to pause his typing.âYou were on the final chapter last night, and I told you to sleep and read tomorrow,â he replied.âIt must be another book, Liam.â âI have good memory power, but this book is still incomplete,â she said, ignoring Liam and reading her novel.âDo not you remember the female lead? What was her name? Amber asked Liam, âHazel,â as he struggled to remember her name. âYes,â Liam answered, adding, âShe was fleeing the golden cage.ââHow come Ethan will not let her?â Amber argued.âWhat is the
âDid you get any allergy?â Ivan asked, picking up my hand in his palm, and applying lotion like I was some fragile doll.âI am fine Ivan,â I said, getting my hand from his grip, but he didn't let go and said" Let me call the doctor and do a body checkup why is your skin getting reddish nowadaysâ âNo, I am fineâ I did, standing from his lap and he stopped before I could run away from his study.âWhy are you so upsetâ Ivan asked, holding my shoulder while my gaze was down looking at his casual sniper. It has been a week since I was avoiding him and I could feel he was pissed off but controlling himself to not lash out at me.âNothing, JustâŚ.â He cut me off, like scolding a little childâ Stop lyingâ âIvanâŚâ I didn't have what to tell him but sighed. âTell me if I have made any mistakes, just let me have the baby,â He said, cupping my face. The pleading was visible in his eyes, asking for his mistake.âNo, you didn't,â I whispered.âYou will conceive soon. Are you upset about that,â He
PastâHow are you feelingâ Liam asked laying beside Amber on the bed.âFeeling goodâ She whispered.âGoodâŚ" Liam said, caressing her bare arms. The touch was gentle and warm, also giving a hint to Amber about his desire.âDo you want us to visit the hospital?" Liam asked, placing a kiss on her temple.âNo., I do not feel any painâ Amber replied in nervousness and added" LiamâŚBaby will be hurtââNothing will happen to the baby, couples do sex while pregnantâ Liam replied, caressing the collarbone and sliding straps of the top he put a gentle kiss on her shoulder.âButâŚ.â Liam cut her off, catching her lips for his hungry kiss. He kissed her passionately, making her moan in his mouth. his fingers started rubbing her nipples.âLiam please,â Amber said, leaving his lips.âDo you want me to tie your hand?â Liam asked, taking her hand above her head, her body stiff in panic while his other hand took ham off her top taking above her head and tied her hand.âLet me love you Amber, I am frust
